The Israeli—Sudanese normalization agreement is an agreement that took place on October 23, 2020, involving the recognition of the state of Israel by Sudan and the establishment of full diplomatic relations.[1] The agreement is the third (after Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates) this year, thus making Sudan the fifth Arab country to recognize Israel's right to exist. The previous four were, Egypt in 1979, Jordan in 1994 and finally Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates which both signed their agreements on the same day, September 15, 2020.[2] Sudan has sent troops to fight the Israeli forces in all Arab-Israeli major wars and considers Israel an enemy state, moreover it was claimed that the Israeli Air Force attacked Sudanese forces and terrorists taking cover in Sudan in 2009 and 2012.[3]
